Central Location with Spacious Rooms

large rooms comfy beds
I found the location excellent, especially its proximity to the station and a supermarket. The rooms were impressively large. My room had comfy beds with plenty of pillows. The shared bathroom had a fast-fill flush (very handy!).
The pub downstairs played music until late, even with the provided earplugs. I would have appreciated a quieter environment, especially after a long day.
Rooms
9/10
The room was very big and neatly presented. There was even a double bed. Working order was evident throughout the room. Drawers offered plenty of storage space, and there was enough hanging space with hangers.
Facilities

The kitchenette included enough crockery and utensils for basic meal preparation. A microwave oven and a kettle were available for use (I used the kettle daily). Large TVs provided entertainment in the room.
Service
8/10
The owner provided earplugs due to the pub below, a thoughtful gesture. Entry codes for the bedrooms and a secure key safe ensured safety. I was charmed by the helpfulness.
